Text Box: Several thousand men and women serve our nation’s farmers as crop advisers. They provide information and expertise on crop production, crop protection and natural resource management. This group of commercial, public and independent advisers plays an important role in modern agriculture. Crop advisers provide advice and council farmers in their decision making process. This responsibility requires a good understanding of science, food safety, technology, economics and environment. Crop advisers combine knowledge in these disciplines with their local experience to render sound recommendations. The NRCCA program is coordinated by the American Society of Agronomy and administered locally by the New York State Agri-business Association (NYSABA). The regional board is staffed by volunteers with agricultural and natural resource backgrounds representing land grant universities, agribusiness, and state and federal agencies. The Northeast Region includes Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island and Vermont. Northeast Region Certified Crop Adviser Program
